• Horst Klein TextBox1.DataBindings.Add update issue!?

  Hello people, I have a issue with the databindings attribute for the textbox. I have a textbox1 which gets linked to a class iDemoCustomer as follows: Me.TextBox1.DataBindings.Add("Text", iDemoCustomer, "CompanyName") The class contains just a few properties to get and set its attributes. Now the issue I have is that while entering something in the textbox the class property for CompanyName doesn't get updated on TextChanged event. The update of the property CompanyName occurs when textbox1 loses focus (leave event). Would it be possible to make the DataBinding update on the TextChanged event And could you give some information on how to do this Thanks in advance, Dries Robeyns Dries Robeyns, I don't think ...Show All

• chronozphere Currency issue with bound objects -I think

  Problem: two textBoxes are bound to two fields in a datagrid.When the text in the first textBox is deleted and replaced , and then the second textBox text is deleted it deletes the text in the first text box(or moves its value back to what it was prior to making the change).Note that if I just modify the text it has no affect on the other textBox-only when I have had a prior deletion. Specifics: the mouse click in the text boxes show a month calendar from which a date is selected and shown in the text box. A keydown event is used to pickup if the "delete" key is hit, and if text is selected it removes the text from the text box and from the dataSet as well(could not get it to delete text by just removing from textBox). ...Show All

• Johnny Liverpool icon from primary output not showing on the desktop

  Hi I have a vb.net 2005 project, with an installation project I added the primary output to the file system for the installation and dragged to the desktop. I get a shortcut on the desktop after installation - but it doesn't show the application icon ... Why is this Do I need to distribute the icon as well (I hope not) Thanks Bruce Hi, Bruce, Sorry for the confusion. I'm assuming that you're using a setup project, yes In the File System view for the setup project, select the shortcut. Go to the property grid and see what the value of "Icon" is. If it says "None," then click that "None," select "Browse..." from the dropdown that appears. That ...Show All

• Ramanakumar VB.Net general

  Hi all, Can I show a form within a panel of another form -- Atanu I'd have to agree here that user controls, sound more like what your trying to achieve. Think of User controls more as mini-forms that need to be hosted within a containing control/form. The User-control can be a single control or group of controls. And provide you with some canned functionality that you can re-use easily. I just spent hours arranging a huge bunch of controls on forms with borderstyle set to zero, and now I find out that I should have used 'UserControl' instead *sigh* I hope there's no downside to using forms this way, as there's no way I'm gonna redo it :) Thanx, though! ...Show All

• ddrakonn Cannot access Shared Property in Visual Studio 2005

  I have an aspx page (pdfOpen.aspx) that needs to set a value on another aspx page (Errors.aspx). I've set the properties on Errors.aspx to be Shared, but the other page (pdfOpen.aspx) cannot see the Shared properties. The Errors class is not visible to the pdfOpen class, as I get the error "Name 'Errors' is not declared".

• Nate879 Rename a Table in MS Access using VB or SQL statement

  Hi all, How can I rename an MS Access table in VB or thro' SQL statement I have 2 clues as given below, but I am not able to get to use these ideas. These statements does not seem to refer the ADO library and hence, I do not know how to arrive at framing a program for these statements. Please help me in using these clues by guiding me how to frame a program around the statements or please let me know if there are any alternative ways. Clue 1: This creates a copy of the original table and you then delete the original leaving you with a newly named table.

• Sébastien Nunes How do you manage your controls if there are many many controls placed on the forms?

  Hi I would like to know how do .net developers manage a large window application with a large number of controls, such as textbox , button, groupbox I have seen a number of people do it this way : declare the controls as an array and initialize them one by one at run time . In this way it is easy to manage those controls because they can be accessed by array index; but this solution seems to require very good understanding of control's attribute such as its location, font etc. This could be a difficult task if the project is passed on to a less experienced developer and add changes to it. How do you deal with it Thanks, Hi, It depends on what you are trying to do... If a part of the UI must be dynamic (ie generated ...Show All

  I am making a program that displays complex graphs in a PictureBox that take a long time to render. Currently I draw the graph in PictureBox_Paint. When the user is panning the view, I want to stop drawing the graphs and instead display a previous 'Screenshot' of what the graphs looked like when the user started panning.

• Yaron Q: Persistent Graphics on Form or PicBox: a real pain!!!

  Hi all, this is kind of a follow up on 2 earlier threads I started. This time the question is a bit more fundamental. It concerns replacement of the persistent graphic methods in VB6 with the Picbox_paint persistent graphics in VB.net. Whatever I try, and whatever help I ask I simply cannot perform the following task: (heavily simplified) I have a VB6 program that reads inputvalues (X and Y) from an A/D convertor. It continuously reads values at ~5 per second and plots them as vectors. Aim is to visualize outliers and get a quick view of grouping of the outliers. I definitely need to implement exacly this functionality in VB.net. After a number of days, millions or even billions of vectors are drawn, with only a few outliers. ...Show All

• Cyberjunkie Disable "Move" for my form

  I am writing Windows Application with VB.NET. I would like to have my form occupying the whole screen and disallow the user from resizing it and moving it. I successfully coded it such that the form didn't move when the user dragged the title bar. It was what I wanted but it was not so perfect. When I press ALT+SPACE, a context menu popped up and this menu contains a menu item called "Move". I wanted to disable this menu item "Move" such that it only showed as a gray text instead of a black text. Which function to call DMan1, I am sorry to say that this solution is extremely poor. It doesn't address my "Move" menu item problem and it yields a very poor user-experience. I int ...Show All
